For all those who remember me... It wasn't until i stumbled upon this forum again...for the first time in about THREE YEARS.... that my eyes started to tear up... Now i know i was never the emotional type on here..but this is crazy. Lemme explain:
I have a Windows Mobile pda-phone for email. I received an email about a pm i received on here... first pm in about 3 years. Asking about my ten page thread. As soon as i typed the "t" in gstwin the last five years of my life flashed before me....
Wow guys... I forgot how excited i was to be on here..and how awesome the people were. We helped each other and there were no outcasts or hated members really. I mean, it was a true resource. I am a member of so many car forums today and this camaraderie DOES NOT EXIST FOLKS!!!
I SEARCHED FOR 'Rashad.'
The four pages I just read made me realize a lot about who i used to be... i know it sounds strange..but its kinda like finding your diary from five years ago. I had so many posts..and was posted about many times lol... amazing... just amazing. Its like a snapshot of my life on here that i had forgotten about.
I made about $13,000 in 2004 when i posted last here.
Last year I made $40,000. I grew up. I changed. But my posts and the relationships on here are still frozen in time... Now i sound like a weirdo but its true.
PLEASE READ THIS PART IF YOU WONT READ THE WHOLE POST!!!

I found a Prayer request post from 2003. The very DAY, that someone i knew had died on his motorcycle. That type of support and unity is something only this forum could have generated. You never know what you have until it is gone. I used to have a spark...a charisma...a creativity that I used on the forum. I had fun. I need to get there again......
But I just wanted to say Hello. I don't own my GS anymore....haven't for years. But this place still owns a piece of me.
God Bless.
Rashad.
Oh..and I wanted to post up my myspace link to anyone on here that i used to know. Please add me if you are on there. Or facebook. My full name is Rashad Frelin. Thanks guys! http://www.myspace.com/rashad_frelin
YAY teh gs-totin manwhore returneth :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Oh yea ... you'll be back ... they all come back.
No GS ... heck 90% of us here dont even have a bike ...
I didn't have a GS for a while ... but now I have 2 ... but none that run :laugh: ... not even close ...
So youy see our admission criteria is very very loose ... in fact most people just go ... "I wont be a member of anything that will let me become a member" Like Groucho Marx.
Cool.
Buddha (and no I didn't used to be s$!**** or who ever)
